Users of major streaming services like Netflix, Disney+, Exxen, Gain, and TOD TV report escalating problems with unauthorised charges, difficult cancellations, and poor customer support, raising concerns over opaque subscription practices and consumer protection.
Consumer complaints about major streaming platforms are intensifying as users allege unauthorised card charges, difficult cancellation routes and weak customer support. Reports collected on complaint sites in recent days have named Netflix, Disney+, Exxen, Gain and TOD TV, with users saying subscriptions can be hard to end and some payments continue even after a service has allegedly been cancelled.
The complaints centre on what critics describe as opaque subscription design. On Şikayetvar, users say some platforms make it difficult to find cancellation options on the website or in the app, while others claim free trials convert into paid plans with little warning. Several posts also allege repeated deductions from cards linked to accounts that were inactive or never used, which points to a wider problem of consent and billing controls.
TOD TV and Exxen have drawn particular criticism over technical failures as well as payment disputes. Trustpilot reviews for TOD TV mention poor streaming quality, frequent disconnections and unresponsive service, while other complaint listings describe app errors, subscription problems and difficulty reaching support. Some users say they paid for student or promotional packages but still could not access content for extended periods because of verification or account issues.
The dispute is also becoming a consumer-protection issue. Guidance from Roku on unrecognised charges advises users to check whether a free trial rolled into a subscription, review account activity and contact the relevant platform or financial institution promptly if a charge still appears unfamiliar. That advice reflects the practical reality facing subscribers: when support desks do not respond, the burden shifts to banks and card issuers to freeze, investigate or reverse the transaction. In the Turkish report, the companies concerned had not replied by the time it went to publication.
